Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$11.00
Strengths:
light, taken some decent sized hits, held up fine. has a little bit of fatigue goin on but the frame is a 2000 model, so take that how you will. mine doesnt have the carbon seat stays, but it still is awesome. the blue looks much better than the gold too
Bike Setup:
this frame, marzocchi marathon, bb7s, 1x9, with an xt derailleur mavic 321 wheelset with wtb weirwolf tires
Bottom Line:
cool frame, got a heck of a deal, cant beat $10.50
i love ebay. this bike is pretty much my child.

Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$300.00
Purchased At:
Frame Only - Ebay
Strengths:
-light -carbon seat stays should absorb more shock -nice design, good looking frame
Weaknesses:
-not sure how the carbon seat stays will hold up with a heavier rider -appears paint job chips easy
Although I only bought the frame and built it up from there this is a great bike and no complaints so far. Looking at the specs on the complete bike it has great components and the Manitou R7 100mm fork it comes with is top notch. Again, the paint although very cool in the gold finish is probably going to chip easily. The Haro site has an MRSP of $2400 and compared to other bikes out there this is a good deal. This is a x country type bike and if you plan on taking it on punishing trails/dropoffs then I would predict the carbon seatstays will snap like toothpicks. If you want to get a x country race ready bike then pick one up today!
